Since Ted stated that this has been fixed in gnome 2.26 I am also marking this as fix released for the fedora task. ** Changed in: gnome-screensaver (Fedora) Status: New = Fix Released -- gnome-screensaver uses too much CPU https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/230749 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Ted could you comment further on 2.26 in Jaunty..

It's been two weeks and no reply. Can we expect a backport for Ubuntu 8.10 or 9.04? -- gnome-screensaver uses too much CPU https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/230749 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 230749] Re: gnome-screensaver uses too much CPU
As this was fixed in GSS 2.25.1 and Jaunty has 2.26.0 I'm marking this as Fix Released. The issue of the backport should be discussed in another bug.

[Bug 230749] Re: gnome-screensaver uses too much CPU
This was fixed in version 2.25.1. In intrepid (8.10, and in 9.04 too, btw!) we have version 2.24.0, so no, this will probably not get fixed, unless you propose a backport. -- gnome-screensaver uses too much CPU https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/230749 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 230749] Re: gnome-screensaver uses too much CPU
Kjell, I'm fairly new to linux, I don't know what is involved to make a backport happen. I could propose it, but I don't have the skills to implement those changes, whatever they may be. With that said, as gnome-screensaver stands presently, it causes VLC to skip frames during a gnome-screensaver CPU spike. The only solution it appears to get around this is to kill off the gnome-screensaver process. That may be a workable solution for HTPC media centers that really don't need a screensaver at all, but for home desktop users killing gnome- screensaver removes a security component (walking away from PC, password protection) in addition to control over power savings by turning off the monitor after a predisposed length of time. -- gnome-screensaver uses too much CPU https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/230749 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 230749] Re: gnome-screensaver uses too much CPU
I also wanted to convey that even if this doesn't get fixed for Ubuntu 8.10, I think it would be a bit much to have to wait until October 2010 to finally see this issue addressed in Ubuntu 9.10. It's easy for me to request this without offering the necessary skills to fix it personally, but realistically, other Ubuntu users are experiencing similar issues. Most don't read launchpad or even ubuntuforums and would blame the OS for something they can't explain (gnome-screensaver CPU spike causing frame skipping in vlc).

[Bug 230749] Re: gnome-screensaver uses too much CPU
Wow, I'm so happy I found this! I had exactly the same problems as you with VLC and MythTV. I've been spending weeks on this issue blameing everyone from MythTV, nvidia, Liferea, firefox, Xorg, and pulseaudio... I even spent time swapping video cards and drivers. My eyes finally opened up and realized that gnome-screensaver was the number 5 CPU time on my system, and I don't even use a screensaver. killall gnome- screensaver is the perfect interim solution to these Xorg CPU spike problems. Thanks to all that reported, confirmed, and upstream fixed it. Go Linux!! In case anyone web searches for this problem in Myth, like I was trying to do for 2 weeks, if you are having jerky playback in Myth (with Myth's internal player) and see messages similar to the following when you run mythfronend -v playback: NVP: Video is x. frames ahead of audio, doubling video frame interval to slow down. NVP: Video is x.x frames behind audio (too slow), dropping frame to catch up. If you use a nVidia card with the proprietary drivers, and you're running Ubuntu with Gnome, then gnome-screensaver is actually what's causing your problem. killall gnome-screensaver is your friend. -- gnome-screensaver uses too much CPU https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/230749 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

The same behavior is observed in Fedora 9.
